ASCLA Blog. ASCLA will host three half-day workshops in Anaheim covering library marketing and development, public library services to the visually and physically impaired and public library partnerships with jails and prisons.

This year’s topics are particularly relevant to public libraries, public librarians and library supporters, but all interested participants are welcome, and can register for this event with or without registering for the 2012 ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim.
